How reefers can reduce IMO 2020 compliance costs

摘要

Reducing the energy required for refrigeration can help shipping lines to reduce the costs of IMO 2020 low sulphur cap regulation, as using low sulphur fuel will be more expensive. As Daikin general manager Europe, Middle East and Africa, Arjan Bezemer says "This is where low power consumption of machinery will be beneficial. Energy consumption reduction means a reduction in fuel consumption which means a cost reduction in general." He adds "Reducing energy consumption has been a major focus for reefer manufacturers for many years. Daikin has been actively developing software solutions for existing equipment and hardware solutions for new equipment, to reduce power consumption."
